| EDNA Test Program Frequently Asked Questions |
WHAT IS THE EDNA TEST?
THE EDNA TEST PROVIDES ABSOLUTE IDENTIFICATION FOR THE HORSE. IF
THERE IS EVER A QUESTION CONCERNING YOUR HORSE'S ID, THE EDNA TEST
WILL PROVIDE UNDISPUTED EVIDENCE OF THE HORSE'S CORRECT ID.
THE EDNA METHOD WILL SPECIFICALLY STRAND TYPE "EQUINE DNA" INTO A
UNIQUE FORENSIC DNA "HORSE FINGERPRINT". THIS WILL HELP YOU
PROTECT AGAINST THEFT, FRAUD, AND ANY ID ISSUES THAT MIGHT ARISE.
WHAT IS "DNA"?
DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID: THE MOLECULES THAT CARRY GENETIC
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING LIVING ORGANISMS AS WE KNOW THEM.
WHAT DOES EDNA TEST FOR?
EDNA TESTS FOR ABSOLUTE IDENTIFICATION AND PATERNITY BY USE OF
FORENSIC DNA ANALYSIS.
HOW LONG IS THE EDNA TEST METHOD IDENTIFICATION VALID FOR?
THE EDNA TEST IS GOOD FOR THE LIFE OF YOUR HORSE.
WHEN SHOULD I HAVE MY HORSE TESTED?
RIGHT NOW.
THE SOONER THE BETTER, THE LONGER YOU WAIT, THE MORE YOU RISK A
PROBLEM OF NOT HAVING "ABSOLUTE ID FOR YOUR HORSE"
DOES EDNA ID BETTER PROTECT THAN "MICROCHIPS", "TATTOOING" OR
"FREEZE BRANDING"?
YES!!!!!! IT DOES....
BUT ANY SECURITY MEASURE FOR YOUR HORSE IS GOOD, AND EDNA DOESN'T
REPLACE THEM, IT JUST GOES A STEP FURTHER AND PROVIDES ID THAT
CANNOT BE ALTERED, CHANGE OR MANIPULATED. THE EDNA TEST IS
NON-INVASIVE, NOT SUBJECT TO DEVICE REJECTION, LOSS OF BLOOD OR USE
OF DRUGS. EDNA ALSO DOESN'T REQUIRE ELECTRONIC DEVICES.
DNA CANNOT BE ALTERED.
I'VE ALREADY HAD MY HORSE DNA TESTED..MAYBE, WHY DO I NEED AN EDNA
TEST?
YOU NEED THE EDNA TEST BECAUSE IT PROVIDES INDIVIDUAL, ABSOLUTE ID
FOR A HORSE. MANY EQUINE REGISTRIES DO USE DNA TESTING TO DETERMINE
PATERNITY, OR LINEAGE ONLY.
THESE TESTS DON'T IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC DNA STRANDS NEEDED FOR
ACCURATE FORENSIC IDENTIFICATION.
THIS IS THE SAME CHAIN OF CUSTODY USED FOR FORENSIC USE. THE EDNA
TEST IS TREATED JUST LIKE HUMAN EVIDENCE TO BE USED IN A COURT OF
LAW.
THIS MEANS A LEGAL CHAIN OF CUSTODY REMAINS IN PLACE THROUGH OUT
THE LIFE OF THE HORSE. MOST PATERNITY OR LINEAGE TESTS ARE
NON-FORENSIC WITH TESTING CONDUCTED BY BREED REGISTRY SOURCES OR
SECOND PARTIES.
WILL THE "EDNA" TEST HURT?
NO - ORAL SALIVA DNA EXTRACTION INVOLVES NO PAIN AT ALL
NO - WITH TAIL OR MANE HAIR, IF THE HORSE EVEN FEELS A LITTLE TUG IT
MIGHT THINK IT'S A FLY. WE USE MANE OR TAIL HAIR, AND OR BLOOD UNDER
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. (RARELY, SOME JURISDICTIONS STILL REQUIRE
SUCH EVIDENCE)
HOW DO I GET "EDNA" IDENTIFICATION FOR MY HORSE?
1) COMPLETE THE EDNA FORM.
2) COLLECT ORAL DNA (saliva)
3) TAKE A MINIMUM OF THREE DIGITAL PICTURES - CAMERA MUST BE AT
LEAST 5.0 MEGA PIXELS IN CAPABILITY - Do Not use a Cell Phone Camera
4) SUBMIT:
- THE EDNA IDENTIFICATION FORM (complete and signed)
- ORAL DNA (saliva), IN PROVIDED VIAL TO US FORENSIC TEST EVIDENCE IS
CONSIDERED "PRIMA FACIE" OR "BEST PROOF OF A FACT", WHICH IS
ADMISSIBLE IN MOST COURTS OF LAW.
IT MUST BE SENT BY UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE ONLY
5) DIGITAL PHOTOS MUST BE E-MAILED TO: support@horsednatest.com
***** 2 (TWO) ADULTS MUST BE PRESENT DURING TESTING*****
YOU WILL RECEIVE A PERMANENT EDNA BAR CODE AND OFFICIAL NOTICE IN
4-6 WEEKS.
CAN I TEST BY OWN HORSE BY MYSELF?
YES - YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF, OR USE ONE OF OUR 'AUTHORIZED EDNA
TEST REPRESENTATIVES'.
THIS TEST MAY ALSO BE ADMINISTERED BY A VETERINARIAN, OR SWORN LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, WHEN A FORENSIC RE-TEST IS REQUIRED.
"IF AN EDNA TEST IS DONE ON A SUSPECTED STOLEN HORSE, IT IS ALWAYS
BEST TO HAVE A SWORN LAW ENFORCEMENT AS WITNESS."
IS EDNA IDENTIFICATION GOOD FOR OTHER REASONS?
YES - IT MAY BE USED AS PART OF VERIFICATION OF PURCHASE OR SALE OF A
HORSE LEGALLY. SOMEDAY EDNA WILL BE CONSIDERED BY INSURANCE
COMPANIES DURING POLICY UNDERWRITING.
HORSE THEFT AND FRAUD WILL BE SLOWED WITH THE USE OF THE EDNA TEST.
I'M SURE MY HORSE WAS STOLEN, WHAT DO I DO?
1) CALL YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IMMEDIATELY.
2) MAKE NO ATTEMPT TO RECOVER YOUR HORSE, EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU
KNOW WHO TOOK IT.
3) ASK FOR, AND OBTAIN A POLICE REPORT.
4) CALL OR NOTIFY THE EDNA REGISTRY (1-800-504-9737) AND, OTHER
INTERESTED PARTIES OR ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE
PREVENTATIVE (HORSE ID) MEASURES WITH.
WHY IS SALIVA OR HAIR TESTED INSTEAD OF BLOOD?
THE PREFERRED DNA EXTRACTION METHODS ARE THE ORAL SWAB EXTRACTOR
OR HAIR. WE WILL ALSO TEST BLOOD WHEN, OR IF NEEDED.
ULTIMATELY DNA CANNOT BE ALTERED, BUT COULD BECOME CORRUPTED.
THE CHAIN OF CUSTODY ALSO AFFECTS THE VALIDITY, AND THE EDNA TEST
ACCURACY IN THE EYES OF THE LAW.
HOW MUCH DOES THE EDNA TEST COST?
$ 95.00 US DOLLARS FOR EACH HORSE TESTED.
THIS ALSO INCLUDES ADDITION OF PICTURES IN THE REGISTRY WHEN YOUR
HORSE HAS A SEASONAL COAT. NEW DIGITAL PICTURES CAN BE E-MAILED OR
ADDED AFTER THE EDNA TEST, ESPECIALLY IF THERE HAS BEEN AN EXTREME
CHANGE IN APPEARANCE.
